The contractor for construction of the Keyser Building was the local [[C. H. Turner Construction Company]]. Workers began excavations for the building's foundation in September 1910.<ref>[https://www.newspapers.com/clip/32159885/foundation_work_keyser_building/ "To Start Work on Foundation"]. ''The Pensacola Journal''. September 18, 1910. p. 7. Retrieved June 1, 2019 – via [[Wikipedia:Newspapers.com|Newspapers.com]]</ref> Construction was completed by October 1912.
Keyser, whose lumber export company went bankrupt in 1914, sold all of his Palafox Street holdings within three years.
Long vacant, the second floor of the building was renovated in [[2008]] by the developers of [[Will Call Sports Grille]], who also added a new balcony and facade to the front of the building.
